Review
I bought this car when I was 16 and it was an awesome first car. As long as I kept up on the maintenance, it did just fine. It was a pain to work on because everything under the hood was so crammed together (something quick and easy like changing a headlight turns into 30 minutes of frustration because you can't get your hands down in there). I got a new car after the a/c went out (it's beyond repair) and passed this one on to my little brother. It now has 176,000 miles and still running great.

My car has 211000 miles on it and the only things that are wrong with it are that people just like to hit my car. The engine is still running smoothly. All I've had to do is change the oil regularly, change the spark plugs, and change out a faulty alternator

I had nothing but trouble with this car. one thing after another, i will say this is longest i went without problem but dont leave this tiny town and don't go more than 3 miles away now. labor on this car is high. My daughter had one with problems and my niece.. but not sure about her experience with it cause she wrecked hers....anyway, mine either blew head gaskets day i got it or they already were. I had a lot of overheating problems. i may have gotten an abused car or bad one i dont know but won't ever own another.thanks. and good luck!

After I crashed my 95 t-bird I was hard up for a new car. I needed something that had stlye but I was broke. So I got a 93 GA with only 69,000 miles on it for only $1400! I thought it was a steal considering it handled far much better than the rear-drive ford ecspecialy since i live in ILL with that horrible weather 9 months out of the year!! The MPG is excellent around 30! But reliablity was not a good as my last car though, at 92000 I needed a new cylinder head, later i needed a heater core and at 132000 i needed a new ignition and computer oh and a radiator. Today with 134000 it runs good as i bought it with just a little tiny problem with my fuel ingection.Iluv the cheak oil light!!

I got a 1993 as my first car out of college. I liked the looks, but would not recommend this as a used car. I kept a detailed log of my repairs and got rid of the car at about 100,000 miles. My first big problem is during heavy rains, a giant puddle would appear on the passenger floor (hard to believe, but true). Also, the "check engine" came on, but multiple mechanics could never fix it...so it always was on...never a comfortable feeling before long road trips. Also had problems with the head gasket, transmission, and heater.Overall, it was frustrating as I kept the car very clean, but couldn't trust it. After 16 years driving GM, I will not by another.

my dad bought this car from a woman he
knows. when we purchased it, it had
174,000 miles. it now has over
208,000. i have never had a mechanical
problem with it, nor a reliablity
problem(and believe me i abuse this car
to no end). this is the most reliable
car i have owned. i would like to up
grade to a newer grand am, but i don't
want to give up my car. i love
pontiacs. they are the most reliable
american made cars. and are fairly
inexpensive. i would recommend a grand
am to anyone looking.

has a 3.3L V6, bought it with
94,500miles on it. Changed the oil,
tran fluid, & air filter, when i bought
the car. about 6,000 miles later.. the
car runs like garbage. the transmission
slips in 2 gears, the fuel pump is in
desparate need of replacement, loses
power, and about 10 other freqent on &
off noises that occur. Would never
purchase another pontiac vehicle. TRASH!

I have been very pleased with this
vehicle, very dependable. I would buy
again if in market for a car with pep
that's fun to drive and that won't burn
a hole in my pocket.
looking into a truck (suv) now.
If the "Vibe" had more power I would
purchase it.

I bought a used 1993 grand am for my
first car. It needed some repairs,
granted. I found out later that the
previous owners never took care of it
mechanically, never had a tune up in
the 10 yrs, rarely had an oil change,
stuff like that. After I had
everything fixed, this car runs like
new. Even though it has 106,000 miles
on it, it runs like a new car. I
havent had any problems with it, it is
extremely comfortable, especially on
long college trips I take frequently.
Recommend it to anyone.
